HEP uses a university-style schedule adapted to the elementary, middle, and senior high levels. Elementary students may attend Classical Program classes on Thursday or choose from several classes such as English, art, and math on different days. Middle school and high school students may choose a Classical Methodology or regular classes. Most classes meet once a week and a few such as foreign language meet twice a week. Parents and students choose the classes they need. Professional teachers, teaching in their areas of expertise, conduct the classroom instruction and grade their own papers. Students spend alternate days at home where parents continue their instruction or monitor student progress.

Teachers provide parents with detailed instructions for days spent at home. A syllabus is provided for every course and is available for parents and students to download from TeacherEase, our on-line grade reporting system. HEP of Texas, Inc. caters to a wide variety of student needs by allowing a range of enrollment opportunities. A student may choose to take only one or two classes, or may opt to take a full academic load. Much like courses listed in a college catalog, each course description contains information about the course, prerequisites, and parental involvement for that class. Tuition is paid per course; a financing plan is available.

According to Texas law, the parent is responsible for the student's home schooling. As such, the parent may hire tutors, use outside classes, attend community college classes, or teach the student at home. The parent may opt for a combination of these options, but the parent is still responsible for the organization of the academic program, the transcript, and the effectiveness of the home schooling. We find that the most successful students in our program have strong parental involvement at home. The parent supervises all studying and homework assignments, and is very involved with the student on a daily basis.

What is the Classical School?

The Classical School provides two different choices:

1st-5th Grade Classic Education Program – All day on Mondays, or Thursdays, or Monday/Thursdays from 9-3pm; with more classes available other days.

Tuition is a package deal for the Monday, Thursday, or Monday and Thursday programs; additional classes are charged by the course; a financing plan is available.

HEP of Texas' Classical Program is affiliated with the Association of Classical & Christian Schools.
